In India we Mourn for abt 2 months and 9 days for Shaheedane Karbala and aseerane Karbala. When we move to other countries we have non shia friends n neighbors who love us and take care of each other like family . My question is - can we visit friends home for dawat or get together in mourning period of 2month 9 days ? There’s no celebration only lunch/dinner with family
- I have tried to avoid their invites but they ask me is this forbidden to have get together in this period ? I Don’t have enough knowledge to explain them
Also I have anxiety issues when alone in home so they insist me to visit them and keep myself happy

Answer:- Wa Alaykum Assalam wr wb
It is allowed to accept and go with your friends for food as far as there
is no celebration during Ayyam e Aza.

In the subcontinent, Shia community people (especially women) have a concept of "NAZAR Lagna", which they interpret as a kind of jealous/cursed view of their fellow persons. It is assumed that this can cause certain types of problems ranging from minor illness, financial loss, deterioration in health, or even huge loss such as death etc.
There are a few methods in different regions, which are practised to ward off the bad omen of "NAZAR". Often this is described as a kind of Islamic ritual (as more religious people do this).
Please explain this from the Islamic perspective.

Bad eye (Nazar e Bad) is possible and it is mentioned in Quran in Sura Falaq and other verses.
Protection from bad eye is possible through reciting Quran especially Sura Falaq and Sura Naas and Ayatul Kursi.
Dua is also very effective in protection from every harm.
